Errors & Omissions Insurance

Errors & Omissions Insurance

Even when professionals such as doctors, lawyers, or accountants perform their duties with the utmost care, they can still make mistakes. When an error in judgment or the misapplication of a service negatively impacts others, these professionals can be held legally liable for their actions. If the outcome of a lawsuit or settlement goes against them, they risk losing their assets and possibly their livelihood.

E&O insurance is essential coverage to protect a service business if a client holds the business responsible for a service that didn’t turn out as expected. This coverage provides peace of mind for the insureds and clients knowing there will be consideration and possible compensation if an error is made.

Coverages

Prime can create a custom-tailored E&O liability insurance program consisting of various combinations of the following coverages:

• Alleged Assault and Battery Liability: This insurance protects the insured against allegations of threats to an individual’s safety (assault) or physical conflicts (battery) involving the policyholder and individuals receiving a service.
• Alleged Sexual Abuse and Molestation Liability: This plan offers coverage for allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior committed by the insured.
• Customized Specialty Liability Coverage: This type of insurance offers protection for specific liability issues that impact policyholders and their business operations.
• Wrongful Acts: This coverage applies to a broad range of negligent acts, errors, or omissions that occur while rendering professional services.
